Job Description

Got your trade test and a steady hand on a DB board? This food processing plant in Sandton needs you on the tools. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

Location: Sandton, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

  • Complete job cards, material lists and test reports at the end of each job
  • Fault-find tripping circuits with a multimeter, insulation tester and loop tester
  • Test installations and issue Certificates of Compliance where your registration allows
  • Read electrical layouts and mark out point positions before chasing walls
  • Terminate armoured cable and fit glands on three-phase motor supplies

You'll need

  • Comfortable working at heights on ladders and in roof spaces
  • Clean criminal record, since you will work inside client homes
  • Registered with the Department of Employment and Labour as an Installation Electrician or holding a Wireman's licence
  • Electrical trade test certificate (Section 13 or 26D) through a QCTO-accredited centre
  • At least 3 years working as a qualified electrician after your trade test
  • Your own basic hand tools and a calibrated multimeter

Nice if you have

  • N3 electrical trade theory on top of your trade test
  • Master Installation Electrician registration for three-phase CoCs

On offer

  • Provident fund and group risk cover after probation
  • Standby allowance when you are on the after-hours roster
  • Overtime paid at time-and-a-half on weekends
  • Company bakkie for call-outs and travel between sites

  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): trade test certificate, Wireman's licence or registration letter from the Department of Employment and Labour plus certified copy of your ID.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Many applicants forget to attach the trade test certificate itself. Recruiters often skip CVs that only mention it.
